Five people with beta thalassemia no longer need regular blood transfusions after receiving a groundbreaking gene therapy treatment developed in China. Their recovery marks a major milestone in making cutting-edge genetic medicine accessible worldwide.
Chinese researchers just proved that a safer, more precise gene editing tool can cure β-Thalassaemia, a life-threatening blood disorder affecting millions worldwide. Unlike earlier methods, this new system made zero mistakes while editing patient cells.
A spacecraft packed with cancer research, quantum computing experiments, and supplies for astronauts will launch to the International Space Station next week. The mission includes breakthrough technology that could help find dark matter and create better treatments for blood diseases.
After becoming the first country to approve a revolutionary gene-editing therapy in 2023, the UK is now using Casgevy to treat patients with sickle cell disease and β-thalassaemia. The treatment has shown remarkable results, freeing 97% of sickle cell patients from painful episodes for over a year.
